> Note that this is often not the same as "#9 - Do you use the best tools money can buy?" as blocking AI tools is about data security, not money.

I do think AI fits #9. The fact that current AI tools are not meeting data security requirements are due to the market demands and maturity:

- price needs to be low to attract adopters.

- low price? These service providers will hoard data

- data needs to be collected for training

So i think long term, there will be more premium AI tools that “promise” to not collect your data. Perhaps self-hosted? Self hosting with AI is not attractive, at least not for consumers or small businesses.

OpenAI have paid plans that promise not to collect your data already. I think Anthropic do as well.

People seem not to trust companies which make these promises, which is unfortunate for the industry.

Self-hosted is becoming more and more possible. For the first time in forever I think it makes sense to buy a beefy personal computer.
